THE AQUARIAN NATURALIST: 



A MANUAL FOE THE SEA-SIDE. 

 BY PKOFESSOE T. RYMER JONES, F.R.S. 



" Of all popular books upon the Natural History of our shores, it is the most 

 complete and the most scientific, while of scientific books it is the most popular. 

 His former writings have shown how well Professor Bymer Jones is able to think 

 with the few, and to speak with the many." Examiner. 



" Our opinion of the book will have been gathered from what we have already 

 said. It is interesting, instructive, suggestive." London Review. 



" The 'Aquarian Naturalist' is undoubtedly the best of all the sea-side books which 

 have come under our notice." Annals of Natural History. 



"Professor Jones interests while he instructs, and his descriptions often rise 

 to the level of true poetry." Medical Times. 



" It is an excellent work, whether considered as to its literary, scientific, or artistic 

 merits. The Aquarian Naturalist will find it a most agreeable and instructive 

 companion, and all interested in the wonders, beauties and truths of the world of 

 life will read it with pleasure and profit. The author is distinguished among the 

 men of science of England." Silliman's American Journal. 



" Professor Jones is a charming writer, and few men have a greater gift of com- 

 municating information in a clearer or more graceful style." Quarterly Journal of 

 Microscopical Science. 



" Mr. Jones's volume will be found a storehouse of valuable and interesting 

 facts valuable to the student, and interesting to the general reader." The Globe. 



" It is a book which must be eagerly welcomed by every one who is interested 

 in the natural history of the mighty deep. It is clear, well arranged, scientific 

 without pedantry, popular without meanness. The descriptions are full, and 

 contain nothing superfluous." The Gardeners' Chronicle. 



" Whilst a great amount of information is given, his great object is evidently not 

 to alarm the reader with minute technical details. We recommend our lady friends 

 especially not to forget to take Mr. Jones's volume when they next go to the sea- 

 side." Athenc&um. 



NATURAL HISTORY OF ANIMALS; 



Being the substance of Three Courses of Lectures delivered before the Eoyal 

 Institution of Great Britain. 



BY T. EYMEE JONES, F.R.S., 

 Professor of Zoology in King's College, London. 



Post 8vo. Yol. I. with 105 Illustrations ; Yol. II. with 104 lUustrations, 12*. each. 



"These volumes form one of the best and completest introductions to Natural 

 History we have ever met. The first volume, beginning with Sponges, contains an 

 account of Zoophytes and creatures very low in the scale of creation ; the second 

 volume treats of Insects and beings rather more highly organized, and ends with 

 them. We have already said the illustrations are excellent ; they are numerous 

 also, and furnish a great addition to the beauty and interest of the volume." 

 Guardian.
